The U. S. Coast Guard has an-
nounced that the annual competi-
tive examination for appointment
of cadets to the U. S. Coast Guard

necticut, will be held December 7,
1963. The exams will be given in
over 2,000 cities in the United
States and overseas. Applications

Appointment to the Academy is
through competitive examination

leads to a Bachelor of Science
Degree and the commission of
Ensign in the U. S. Coast Guard.
The examination is open to any
unmarried, qualified young man,
military or civilian, who will have
reached his 17th but not his 22nd
birthday on July 1, 1964, who is
in good physical condition, and
who is sincerely interested in a
career as an officer in America’s
oldest continuous sea-going ser-
vice.
Requests for information con-
cerning the examination and the
requirements may be addressed to
the Commandant (PTP-2), U. S.
Coast Guard, Washington 25, D.C.
All inquiries will be given prompt
attention.
Icelandic Language
Studied by Marines
Marines stationed at Keflavik
are now taking a six week course
to enable them to converse in Ice-
landic, while working directly with
Icelanders and Defense Force per-
sonnel.
This training is expected to
greatly improve the proficiency of
Marine personnel.
The course began on May 14 at
the Marine Barracks.
Mr. Ingvar Gudmundsson, of the
Mimir Language School of Reyk-
javik, is the instructor for the
course. He is conducting two sep-
arate classes, consisting of a total
of 20 Marines, four days a week.
The program was approved by
the Commandant of the Marine
Corps in accordance with Marine
Corps policy. Funds were furnish-
ed for the conduct of the course
and for procurement of reference
material from the Linguaphone
Institute of New York City.
The course is designed so that
the men will have the ability to
converse freely with those they
come in contact with.
Personnel selected for this train-
ing must have eight months re-
maining of their tour in Iceland
upon completion of the course.
Student reaction to the course
has been one of great enthusiasm,
and progress seems most promis-
ing.

Military Athletes Score
Well at Pan-Am Games
The fourth Pan American Games held in Sao Paulo,
Brazil, found U. S. military athletes winning more than
a quarter of the gold, silver and bronze medals won by
U. S. competitors.
When the final tally was completed, Service athletes had
won, as individuals or team mem-*
bers, 30 of the 109 U.S. gold med-
als; 16 of the 55 silver medals;
and 10 of the 39 bronze medals.
Army Sgt. Gary L. Anderson
paced the all military shooting
team of the United States, per-
sonally winning five gold medals
of the 13 won by the team.
All but one of the military
members of the U. S. track and
field forces won medals. Out-
standing performances were
turned in by Army Lt. Ollan C.
Cassell and Marine PFC David
S. Davis. Cassell ran on the
winning 400 and 1600 meter re-
lay teams and lost by an eye-
lash in the 200 meters. PFC
Davis won the shotput with a
heave of 60 feet 9 inches and
placed second in the discus.
The winning U. S. basketball
team included five members from
the Armed Forces team which
earned a place in the Games by
winning the trials from a strong
College All-Star contingent.
Army PFC Lee Carr was
crowned heavyweight champion of
the Pan-American Games, and
A1C Fred Lewis took top honors
in the lightweight division. Four
other military fighters won bronze
medals in the ten event fisticuff
program.
Two U. S. Air Force men won
half of the four gold medals
awarded in judo. A1C Toshiyuki
Seino won as a lightweight, and
SSgt. George Harris won the
heavyweight event.
Other gold medals were picked
up in wrestling, gymnastics,
diving, swimming, fencing, track
and field, equestrian, and the
modern pentathlon.
Seventy of the 82-man military
contingent who went to Brazil
were actual contestants. The bal-
ance were team captains, admin-
istrative personnel, and liaison of-
ficers. Thus 70 of the 360 U. S.
participants, approximately 19%
percent, were military athletes. A
break down shows military athle-
tes accounted for 27.5 percent of
all the gold medals won; 29 per
cent of the silver; and 25.6 per-
cent of the bronze awards.
Military athletes won a grand
total of 56 medals in this competi-
tion. This compares favorably
with their performances in the
1959 Pan-American Games when
119 competitors won 57 medals.
A man bought a parrot at an
auction after some spirited bid-
ding. “I hope the bird talks,” the
buyer said to the auctioneer.
“Talks,” exclaimed the auction-
eer, “he’s been bidding against
you for the past ten minutes!”
